conceptualisation
<artificial intelligence> The collection of objects, concepts and other
entities that are assumed to exist in some area of interest and the
relationships that hold among them. A conceptualisation is an abstract,
simplified view of the world that we wish to represent. For example, we may
conceptualise a family as the set of names, sexes and the relationships of the
family members. Choosing a conceptualisation is the first stage of knowledge
representation.
Every knowledge base, knowledge-based system, or knowledge-level agent is
committed to some conceptualisation, explicitly or implicitly.
